About this title

Review:

Noah Isenberg's insightful analysis of the success of [Casablanca] fully justifies the book's subtitle 'The Life, Legend and Afterlife of Hollywood's Most Beloved Movie'... [a] fascinating study. (DVD Choice)

[An] affectionate compendium of Casablanca lore... a highbrow fan scrapbook stuffed with facts and gossip, weighty critical opinions tucked alongside exuberant movie-mag trivia... It is, however, Casablanca's political urgency that ultimately fuels Isenberg's admiration. After all, it premiered just two weeks after its namesake city surrendered to general George Patton's US troops. "Perhaps the reason why Casablanca is now a classic, a cult and a legend," Bergman wrote, "is because it was concerned with our war."... [A] heartfelt book. (The Sunday Times)

[An] exuberant study of the phenomenon that is Casablanca. (The Times)

Book Description:
